I added all of you guys to the document, but I'd like to point out I made the document public. That means you can add yourself.

It'd be swell if everyone added their timezone. It'd help when arranging tournaments.

Should we put the spreadsheet in the OP?

Edit: Nevermind, I am dumb. Google made it so anyone can "view" it. Ok. I changed it to "edit" now. Sorry about that.

I wonder if "because the holiday is nearly upon us" means "we're adding special holiday events/content" or "we want to make this extra shiny so we can go on vacation and still remain on schedule."

Both are good news, if true!

Considering the majority of the game isn't even functional I get the impression that special holiday content is very low on their list of priorities.

p.s.: Is the Friends List non-functional? I can pull up the pane but I can't seem to put people on it.

Added myself. I may have to adjust it since I haven't logged in since they removed the ability to have spaces in user names and I'm not sure what that means for my previously space containing name. :)

I plan on playing more now that tourney stuff is going in. Patching now.

Yeah that, people were talking in chat about "The Tournament" and who they were up against so I thought maybe people were entering on the forums or something.

My bad!

P.s.: Does anyone have some suggestions for a good monoblue artifact+dwarf deck?

I really like my shin'hare deck but too many games I haven't gotten the right spread of shards fast enough despite my curve stopping at 3. With Dwarves I was making GBS threads out robots and things as fast as I could draw them, but I just sort of cobbled together something terrible and didn't really know what I was doing.

Don't play it, since after the changes to several key pieces it's pretty much just garbage.

Thats not necessarily the case, while elite battle tech sucks now, it can still be good with volcannon spam, has a good bomb with Slaughtergear, and with some red for the machinist and assault technician, can be powerful.

Mikujin

It just doesn't get going fast enough, though. Prior to a multitude of changes, you could spam bots with factories and cheat out affinity guys quickly to try and get ahead (you still lost to heat wave/extinction). Now you roll out slow, affinity is weaker since it only applies to artifact creatures, and you still have the bulk of weaknesses you had before.

Also, Slaughtergear is a PvE card - not sure if that matters in the tournament, but it takes away one of the few legs the deck stands on right now as is.

The deck I was using was red/blue, 4 research librarian, 4 technical genius, 4 war machinist, 4 Burn to the Ground, 4 pterobot, 4 charge bot, 3 volcannon, 3 Argus, 4 War Hulk plans, and a few other cards depending on mood.

I learned to stay away from the Inspiration Engine because it's just too erratic. You'd spend five turns pumping it then get five more turns of Cosmic Totems before it pumped out anything useful. I think the better approach is to try to make the deck as "speedy" as possible -- use the advantage of technicians, hex engines, etc., to get Big Artifacts like Argus or Eternal Guardian out quickly, and/or spam little robots and use war hulk plans and volcannon for big direct damage.

I agree that overall the dwarf deck isn't "competitive" right now though. It's fun to play but it's not going to be winning any tournaments. Takes too long to develop.

Cory said in an interview that they were targeting 4 sets per year, so I'd assume at most 3 months of post-beta set 1.

How long does a tourney typically take? I don't often have 3+ hours where I can sit at the computer uninterrupted.
